It started, like many great ideas in climbing, with a question: How far can we push the balance between subtle footwork and bold, dynamic movement?
The answer became bluepill’s Impossible line – a thoughtful mix of 228 pu holds and 8 macros that combine technical detail with signature shapes. And now, for the first time in North America, the holds are available through Bold Climbing.
The line features a unique combination of very small holds and larger features (and everything between) like the Mega Hueco-a favorite for creating powerful, visually appealing sequences. It’s a line that invites creativity and offers a lot of flexibility for the setter. Whether you’re designing a comp-style boulder or a more subtle, technical climb, the Impossible line gives you room to explore. The main idea behind the Impossible Line was a bluepill Compline 2.0 in Dualtex. It has many shapes that are not found on the Compline.
What makes it even more versatile is how well it pairs with other bluepill lines. It complements the Impossible Macros, blends naturally with the Fiber Impression line, and adds an extra to the Competition Line. The dope macro line is the big macro addition to the impossible and gives it an even more outstanding touch!
At the heart of the design is shaper Joseph Hoffmann formerly Wetzel, whose work with bluepill focuses on variety and ease of use. His shapes run the gamut from slopers and crimps to jugs, pockets, and volumes, making it easy for route setters to adapt to different walls, styles, and skill levels. The goal is simple: provide holds that inspire movement and that helps every setters bring their ideas to life, easily.
With regular new releases and a growing catalog, bluepill continues to bring fresh options to gyms and setters around the world. The Impossible line is just one example of how thoughtful design can open up new possibilities on the wall.
Have fun setting and climbing on the impossible which is possible for everyone.
